Default Access Virus C - Pressing Edit Buttons Causing Problems

Hello
I am a new member of the infected forum and recently purchased a Virus C.

I'm not sure if this is a common problem or similar to any of the other Virus's
but here it goes.

The following is all carried out without anything plugged in (and only using the Edit /Synd buttons to trigger sounds) other than the Power Adaptor.

I need to start the Virus with a system reboot to be able to access any of the programs or banks of sounds after a button crash.
After the reboot, I can switch the Virus off & on again and return to normal mode with Programs & Banks.

Once I select a program or bank, I can tweak the sounds without problems using the knobs. I can then change programs and banks and carry on tweaking sounds.

My problem arises once I press the tact switches mainly the Edit buttons
where I get stuck on the edit page and can not return to the Program/Bank window.
There is also a problem with the Transpose buttons where you can not transpose the presets.
Also, I am unable to switch between single and multi (the LED is always on single)

There are a few dodgy pots. The Intensity is extremely stiff & the Volume has had a knock and sometimes a loss level.

I was hoping to have a go at the repair myself but there are no schematics that I know of.

Is there any chance it may be a capacitor problem?
Maybe an IC in the switch circuit.
Do I need to re-install the OS?

Any help would be appreciated.
